The people of the Phoenix Clan never imagined that things would turn out like this.
Chi Huang in particular was completely dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. She had originally thought that no matter how heaven-defying this young Chosen One was, his strength would inevitably be inferior to Zu Feng's.
But now, the leader of the Phoenix Clan had directly taken Ye Tian away. This, this, this—didn't it mean that the current situation had undergone some kind of special change?!
But why?
Of course, Chi Huang and the others from the Phoenix Clan didn't understand. After all, everything Ye Tian had done had already used the heaven-defying method of the red thread of fate to raise his romantic favorability to 70%.
Not just Chi Huang—even everyone in the entire Primordial World probably never would have imagined that things could turn out this way!
Just as everyone stood there in a daze, Zu Feng's incomparably grand voice slowly appeared beside the ears of every member of the Phoenix Clan.
"Today's lecture will begin in fifteen minutes. All members of the Phoenix Clan, please proceed to the lecture platform as soon as possible!"
As soon as her voice fell, everyone from the Phoenix Clan froze for a moment. Then they stopped thinking about what had just happened and transformed into enormous phoenixes one after another. Amidst crisp phoenix cries, they soared into the void and landed on the meditation cushions of the lecture platform above the Phoenix Nest.
Zu Feng's lectures were an extremely important matter for the Phoenix Clan. Every time she lectured, they gained a great deal of experience and insight into cultivation, allowing their strength to increase tremendously and bringing about all kinds of other benefits.
Therefore, in the current situation, naturally, none of the Phoenix Clan members wanted to miss this grand feast.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Streams of light flashed as they ascended the boundless lecture platform one after another.
At the same time,
Zu Feng pulled Ye Tian along and sat with him atop the undead fire lotus at the very center of the lecture platform.
The lotus platform was a deep purple, and wave after wave of fire essence continued to erupt from it.
This fire essence was none other than the pure fire essence Zu Feng had extracted from the Undying Volcano. After being tamed by her, it had long since lost its heaven-defying heat and instead gave off a gentle feeling.
"Congratulations! Your comprehension of Fireball Spell has deepened, reaching 30%!" "Congratulations! Your comprehension of Fireball Spell has deepened, reaching 100%!" "Your Fireball Spell has leveled up. It has evolved into Flame Meteor!" [Flame Meteor]: An area-of-effect skill and technique. This skill can create the scene of a meteor crashing down, dealing devastating damage within a radius of one thousand meters. Attack +2000, movement speed +2000, attack speed +2000! "Congratulations! All your attributes have increased by 10%!" "Congratulations! Your comprehension of the techniques Fire-Element Spellcraft and Water Immortal Spirit Art has increased simultaneously!" "Congratulations! You have initially grasped the secrets of fusing two techniques!"
Listening to the pleasant notifications ringing out without end, Ye Tian's lips curled into a faint smile.
This was only after reaching 70% favorability. Ye Tian still had a huge trump card he hadn't used yet. Once he played it, reaching 100% favorability would be no problem at all!
Moreover, after obtaining Zu Feng's 100% favorability, he would be able to do even more things. In particular... the entire Phoenix Clan would belong to him.
By then, what he controlled and the power he could wield would be absolutely incomparable to what he had now.
Thinking this, Ye Tian looked toward Zu Feng, who was sitting beside him.
At that moment, Zu Feng was gazing at Ye Tian with deep affection.
"Chosen One... You, this Chosen One, can actually make my heart flutter. How marvelous."
"The Heavenly Dao is unpredictable. Some things are destined. Otherwise, why would the two of us have sensed each other?"
"That is true."
Zu Feng smiled. As the leader of the Phoenix Clan, she firmly believed in things being predestined.
After all, she herself had experienced such a thing before.
However, before Zu Feng could continue, Ye Tian smiled and said, "Let me tell you something. The reason the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan broke apart was entirely because someone was secretly manipulating things."
"More precisely, it was the Qilin Clan trying to fish in troubled waters. They first drove a wedge between you and caused your relationship to fall apart, then gained greater benefits."
"After all, in the current Primordial World, with the three clans rising together, it was impossible to determine which was stronger or weaker. Naturally, Zu Qilin was unwilling to accept that."
Hearing this, Zu Feng was stunned.
Could things really have happened this way?
Was Zu Qilin secretly causing trouble?
But she found it somewhat hard to believe. After all, she clearly remembered that one of the Phoenix Clan's treasures had indeed been snatched away by the Dragon Clan two days ago.
"That was because those members of the Dragon Clan were actually disguised members of the Qilin Clan. There is a technique in this world called the Eight Nine Mysterious Art. It includes the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Dipper and the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends. Once those arts are mastered, concealing one's aura and transforming into countless forms becomes an extremely simple matter."
As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his hand and waved it, projecting a screen of light into the void.
The screen of light resembled a holographic display, showing the brutal battle in which the Qilin Clan had besieged the Dragon Clan.
Naturally, Ye Tian had erased his own involvement in the battle with the Dragon Clan.
In the projection, at the instant Tianhuo Qilin exchanged blows with the Dragon King, he transformed into another enormous flying beast. Moreover, it was an evolution from the inside out. Whether it was his aura or energy fluctuations, everything had become completely different from that of the Qilin Clan!
I had heard of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art too. Wasn't that Daoist Zhunti's technique?
It was worth mentioning that the Primordial World was currently still in the era of the Three Clans War between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans. At this time, Hongjun had not yet become the Heavenly Dao, and he had not even become a saint.
Therefore, Daoist Zhunti was not a saint, nor was he Hongjun's disciple. He was merely a famous powerhouse.
Upon hearing the name Daoist Zhunti, Ye Tian nodded with a beaming smile.
At that moment, Zu Feng suddenly thought of something.
"Are you saying... Zu Qilin is communicating with Zhunti and plotting something?"
"And are there even other powerhouses supporting them from behind the scenes?"
Ye Tian nodded.
With the memories of his previous life, he naturally knew very well that Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Rahu of the Demon Clan were both involved behind the scenes of the Three Clans War between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans. They naturally wanted the three clans to slaughter one another so they could reap their own benefits.
However, Ye Tian couldn't say too much about this for the time being. He had merely pointed it out.
And now, because of the red thread of fate and the 70% favorability, combined with Zu Feng's own consideration of the matter, she immediately believed his words.
In an instant, the pleasant notifications refreshed once again.
"Congratulations! Zu Feng's favorability toward you has increased to 80 points!" "Congratulations! Zu Feng's favorability toward you has increased to 90 points!" "Congratulations! Zu Feng's favorability toward you has increased to 100 points!"
And at that moment—the fifteen minutes had passed. The lecture was about to begin!
Before you continue
